VEHICLE SEAT WITH PIVOTING BACKREST

摘要

A seat, in particular a rear seat in a motor vehicle, comprises a seat base (1), a seating section (2), a backrest (3) and a first jointed arm (7) with horizontal rotating axes, coupled at one end to the rear region of the seating piece and to the seat base at the other. The backrest may be pivoted from an essentially upright operating position horizontally onto the seating section and lowered with the above onto the seat base in a cargo position. According to the invention, the cargo volume may be increased whereby the backrest (3) is coupled to the seating piece end joint (6) of the first joint arm (7), such as to rotate and may be lowered together with the seating piece (2).
